Congratulations to the USA on managing to be worse hosts that Qatar and Russia. Quite the achievement.
In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane.

not to defend Starmer but the tradition of Westminster ignoring racist violence in the North of Ireland provoked by loyal paramilitaries has been pretty well established for the past century or so
i mean yes this is disgusting and infuriating but can we also have a minute for the description of the World Cup as "one of the world's most international sporting events"
👏👏

The difference between Russia/Qatar and the USA is Russia/Qatar used the World Cup to hide their human rights abuses, and the USA are using it to flaunt them
We should have boycotted Russia and Qatar and their world cups were disgusting, but they were safer because they knew the eyes of the world would be on them. The United States is not constrained by this, and it makes the scale of the impending disaster potentially much greater
I take a catholic view to your Taskmaster stats, it's not important that they are produced but it is important that you are suffering.
